These excerpts taken from the BP 11-K filed Jun 23, 2009. BP DirectSave Plan The BP DirectSave Plan (“DSP”) was established on April 1, 1988. Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are hourly employees at Company-operated retail locations, plane fueling or fuel system operations are eligible to participate in the Plan after the completion of six months of service and the attainment of age 21. Under DSP, participating employees may contribute up to 100% (80% after May 1, 2009) of their qualified pay on a pre-tax, after tax and/or Roth 401(k) basis, subject to IRS limits. Participants who attain age 50 before the end of the applicable year are eligible to make additional elective deferrals (catch-up contributions), subject to IRS limits. Except for eligible employees of Air BP, the Company makes matching contributions to the participant’s account equal to $0.50 for each $1.00 of employee contributions up to 4% of compensation. Participants are permitted to rollover amounts into DSP representing distributions from other qualified plans. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit which can be provided by the participant’s vested account balance. Participants are immediately and fully vested in their participant contribution accounts. Vesting in Company matching contribution accounts is dependent upon specific criteria as described in the plan document. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $191,413 and $182,697, respectively. DSP may use forfeitures to reduce future Company matching contributions or to pay plan expenses. BP DirectSave Plan The BP DirectSave Plan (“DSP”) was established on April 1, 1988.
